Congress' Nirupam says will reveal plan on Apr 4 as party gears up for his likely expulsion

Congress is likely to expel senior leader Sanjay Nirupam from the party ahead of the 18th Lok Sabha Elections, following his controversial remarks targeted at Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) allies after being denied a ticket from the Mumbai North West seat.

On April 3 evening, following Patole's statements to the media about a likely enquiry and expulsion, Nirupam took to microblogging site X announcing he will take a decision within the next 24 hours.

कॉंग्रेस पार्टी मेरे लिए ज़्यादा ऊर्जा और स्टेशनरी नष्ट ना करे।
बल्कि अपनी बची-ख़ुची ऊर्जा और स्टेशनरी का इस्तेमाल करे,पार्टी को बचाने के लिए करे।
वैसे भी पार्टी भीषण आर्थिक संकट के दौर से गुजर रही है।
मैंने जो एक हफ़्ते की अवधि दी थी,वह आज पूरी हो गई है।
कल मैं खुद फ़ैसला ले…

Nirupam's comments came shortly after Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole, said, "His name appeared among the star campaigners, but it has been cancelled. Considering the nature of his statements, appropriate action will be taken within a day or two", in an interaction with the press, reported ANI.
